Winston Creek Hunting Incident 12-3-2010

do you apply that to the end of the road? blocking roads that go through is a   . spur roads = fair game. didnt we put this thread to bed awhile ago?  

[BAR C3]

I come around the corner on a back country road and your blocking it!! YOU better be broke down, cause if your not I will MOVE your vehicle! end of story. What is with you people on here saying you shouldnt of drove around their rig wtf

So what if your on a dead end road, there is a herd of elk ahead of you, and there is only minutes left in the hunt? You driving up with your bow and getting a shot? With those circumstances, I don't have an issue with it. Anyone that is in elk knows in the heat of the moment under those circumstances, your not looking for a parking spot. I'm playing devils advocate based on the story given.

[huntnnw]

if its a thru road or even a dead end road with miles left to go till the dead end, your going to have a bad day! I cannot stand this mentality, everyone saying messing up his hunt, what about your hunt? christ

[chester]

try getting up in the morning and being the first there maybe? 
thats pretty much how first come first served works.

[Tony 270]

It is public land, plenty of room for everybody. Public means open to the public, not open to the first one there. If it is a main road then there are plenty of places where it splits off, just take a different road then the one they're on. If someone thinks they can hog the whole mountain to themselves they need to think again.

I'd be interested to see how some of you river fish. If there is someone there do you leave that stretch of river and go a few miles down or do you go ahead and fish anyway? And I suppose you never engage in a "combat fishing" situation, because you should have gotten up first and claimed the whole river to yourself?

I believe in giving people room and not messing up their hunt, but I'm not going to give them the whole damn mountain.

If you are on the elk first they do belong to you as long as they are in that area.  Thats the unwritten rule there.  I would always back off and give someone room to do their thing.  I would immediatley try to figure out where the elk will retreat to and cut them off far away from where the hunters entered.  Do it any other way and you are an A Hole.  

This is exactly what my hunting partner and I did in this same general area,we chose to drive down a different way because two hunters on a quad basicly had a road blocked and were obviously glassing something we were driving down all the sudden saw the same quad and the hunters running down another road we watched thru binos and saw the elk they were stalking bust to the timber we drove around to the other side of the timber to another cut hitailed it to the edge and waited to see if the elk might come thru but darkness was working against us so no luck. Would I have shot "THEIR" elk if they came thru ?   HELL YES without hesitation

[huntnnw]

are u effin kidding chester?

[chester]

Im not saying the whole mountain. but if you come into contact with them you are too close.

[chester]

Flinger you seem to have the proper response down. If those elk came to where you guys were waiting for them you were there first. ts to the quad guys. kill it and thank them for pushing them to you.

[huntnnw]

NOT when u block a road on purpose and the sole purpose to hinder or keep people from accessing the area that your hunting. Now if you see people hunting a herd of elk out in the field and u purposely go after the elk, that is wrong

Last I checked the elk belong to all of us, not the first guy that is on them. Call me an A hole, cause if I see elk, I am getting on them. Go ahead flame away, but I don't go hunting to pass up an opportunity, no matter what you think your unwritten rule is.

ok...well how do i explain this further. if its a spur rd. aka a dead end. DO not drive around. all you will do is ruin the area by driving through it for yourself and the other party. if its a mainline or a road that punches through. well the *censored* shouldnt have been parked there. two different scenarios completely. like parking at the end of a driveway vs. blocking a hwy. follow me?

[huntnnw]

what if the spur road is 3 miles long? and they are blocking at the Y. Not okay! what if you were up deer or bear hunting and had a stand up at the end of the road,So its just fine to ruin your hunt cause they were there first? no pulli it off the damn road! if you dont like it maybe you should find some private property and get away from people.

[chester]

would you rather they parked at the Y or let you get almost to the end where there was no turn around and you had to back out?

[6x6rack]

What unit is this again...remind me to NEVER go there. Sounds like the MMA of elk hunters, or possibly Ringling Brothers lost a tent?
